Hey, so Reddit won't let you browse its site if you're using Proton VPN.

Hey, so Reddit won't let you browse its site if you're using Proton VPN. - Lemmy.ca

This is what I get when going to Reddit while connected to Proton VPN, connected to a server in the same country I live in.

Yea I ran into the same thing about 2 months ago, haven’t even gone back to check it. lemmy.world/post/14769888

I’d just be grateful you found Lemmy. I suspect Reddit is mostly bot spam at this point hidden as real users. Sucks that so many old posts are now being gatekept, a pinnacle of the real enshittification that’s happening right now.

Reddit has become the face of enshittification - Lemmy.World

I just wanted to peek at the front page. I guess they don’t want people to use their shit anymore. I’m starting to believe in the dead internet theory.

Oh for sure.

It’s just sometimes it feels a bit lonely in my main communities. I’m a francophone Quebecois and there isn’t a lot of us on Lemmy. Most of them didn’t seem to care about the whole API thing and don’t seem to care about the bots and the AI either.

The Quebecois are creatures of habit and one they’ve settled down on something it’s hard to make them change.

Reddit is a high proportion of tech issue search results. “just use lemmy” doesn’t solve anything
